I, obviously, need to work on my English. I can accept 35% General America English - after all I do have a J.D., which was bound to affect my language usage. And then I went three pickels short of a barrel and got a job in TV, where Midwestern is emphasized as the appropriate compromise for a national language. But where in the world did 10% Yankee come from? My grandmother would skin me alive.
